Mike, I don’t see the distinction between libertarians and corporatists. The libertarian and corporatist agendas are very similar. That’s why you always see corporatism when someone tries to implement libertarian reforms. Privatization is corporatism; corporations buy public resources at whatever price and sell them for a profit.

That’s not the real problem with libertarianism though. The real issue is that it is anti-democracy, both in its aims, and in its implementation. No sane population would ever implement the self-destructive policies that libertarians espouse.

A reasonable portion of the libertarians’ despised inefficiencies are acceptable losses when it allows a public resource to remain under public democratic control.
